The Chocolate Trade Off - Calories Be Gone
Has it truly been over a year since I posted about Oris George sucking up chocolate cake, and Danielle threatened to out me if I tattled? My gosh, it's been a busy year.

In the past year, chocolate has become a reality in my diet (as if it wasn't already) and I've learned that I can have a piece of chocolate and still enjoy a healthy life. (Someone told me dark chocolate is good for the heart, so I've given up milk chocolate for the cause.)

But then, there's that other story --- you know, the one about "one moment on the lips, forever on the hips". Yeah, that story. I knew you'd remember. Well, in the past year, ole Oris gave up chocolate (almost) for a short period of time and lost most of his excess weight (he still has that ugly thing hanging over his shoulders though) and has gotten back his perty trim bod - looks like a 17 year old girl overdressed in khakis and a white Sunday go to meeting shirt most of the time. (But he don't wear pink!)



Meanwhile, the rest of us accepted the fact that we've eaten a lot of chocolate over the years and it's stuck back there on our butt cheeks. Until... Well, that's the trade off.

If you're going to live in a high rise in Denver, loving every minute of the LoDo life style, you'd better get your face out of the chocolate wrapper and your butt into some jiggly coins and a belly dancer skirt (according to my daughter the belly dancing virtuoso of motherhood). So, I caved. I figured if I was going to sink my teeth into the chocolate, I'd have to work it off somehow, and well... belly dancing looks like fun. Jiggling jiggly coins all over the place looks a whole lot better than a bowl full of belly jelly. Come on, Santa, let's do the belly dancing jiggle!

Oris --- if you find this and repost, I may have to hurt you!!!

And that, my friends is the stroll through the Nature Trails of Chocolate Trade Offs.

Chocolate Marketing Concepts
Double Dipping - Chocolate “Article” Marketing Concepts Maximize Profits

Double dipping is often recognized as a negative thing. Nobody wants you dipping your bitten off celery back in the cream cheese, and if you’re a retired school employee working in education is simply taboo. But Double dipping with your article marketing endeavors is a different story.

Let me tell you how to maximize your profits with a successful double dipping strategy that makes each article you write do double or triple duty. These chocolaty rich marketing strategies are sure to bring profits to your business online.

250 Word Summary

This is a key concept. When you’re writing articles, you must have a key concept or principle for which you’re writing. That key can be written in a few words, say… 250 - 300 words, the short form. In this format you recognize your key points and identify the purpose of your article, add a resource box that invites the reader to your website for more information and exit the article with a copyright symbol and your contact information.

5 - 10 Step Article

Usually, the first article I write beyond the summary on any given topic has 5 - 10 steps in a list of specifics I intend to talk about throughout a series of sorts that culminates into a group of articles profoundly capable of becoming much more than just a traffic driving article. Each of these pentacle steps become article fodder that I use in various steps of double dipping the article.

400 - 700 Word Content

This article will be most readily found at the end of the link in your resource box, perhaps through a squeeze page, or some other quick identification grabbing page where your reader can sign into your Marketing List. After all, if they’re really interested in that little tidbit enough to sign up for more, they’ll really be interested in what you offer them every week.

1000 Word Report

Add in those nasty statistics and offer them to your readers at the end of the article at a penance of a price, so they can actually use the information in the article. You’re really not writing an additional 1000 words, but rather adding in specific statistics and details your reader needs to apply the information in your article. Once the details are added, you format the report with a key title and post it as a .PDF online so your readers can download it.

Collaboration Ebook

This step may be the final dip for an article, or a jumping off point, where the article becomes a superfluous and poignant part of my business. The summary becomes an introduction, the step-by-step articles become chapters, a 1000 word report becomes a prolific motivational page with viable directives for attaining great results from the concepts within. Your ebook is done. It’s a collaboration of the articles you wrote for publication on an ezine article distribution site, and your readers now have access to the finished project.

This ebook can be marketed to your Marketing List along with various other markets on the Internet. For more information about Marketing your Articles and Double Dipping for Maximized Profits, go to http://advertizeyourbusiness.com/ and get your FREE Article Marketing Templates.

Chocolate Marketing Splurge - Drenched in Decadence
Drench your new year in decadent rich chocolate marketing splurges and capture the attention of your audience. The beguiling truth is your niche can't resist the sinful decadence of chocolate rich marketing concepts, and you absolutely MUST entice them in for indulgent wealth and abundance.

No, of course, it won't be difficult.

Simply give them a hint of flavor, a promise of fulfillment and they'll follow wherever you lead. The best part of decadent rich enticements is that you buying audience can't resist.

Do you still wonder how to captivate them for more than the traditional 8 seconds?

Try seductive mystery.

Oh yes, you will bring them to the table lush, with unequalled desire to be touched with the delicate flavor of chocolate, but... they'll be more than ready for the devouring demise by the time they arrive. We've all been there:

The aroma tantilizes our nose and we begin to feel the hunger. Even before we hear he gentle tones of violins sucking at the wind, we know, we're about to surrender. The flavor calls. We must follow wherever chocolate leads. No matter that we'll never experiece the elegant flavor of rich, decadent dark chocolate wealth, our desire alone brings the ultimate satisfaction. The thrill of the chase will bring us swilling to our knees to be devoured by whatever fate befalls us. Decadence, the sinful revelation of our own weakness. We know we can't resist the aroma, the hint of mystery that sucks us down into the swirling abyss to be consumed by --- marketing.

The reality is, we seldom purchase a product because we want the product. More often we purchase a product because the marketing of the product appealed to our sense of style, our desire to be popular, our sense of security or our weakness to say no to the decadence and sensual appeal of the products marketing.

Marketing is about creating a sense of need around a mystical value applied to the product we're selling. Once that mystical value appeals to the buyer, nothing more need be done to sell the product.

Desire sells. If you can create a desire, a deep seated NEED to feel the way the marketing makes your reader feel, your product will sell. JV Marketing Concepts shares the Secret that reveals FRESH marketing concepts that will work for your business.

Forgivable Wickedness



Forgivable Wickedness - How Can You Not Marketing Your Business

By Jan Verhoeff

We’ve all had those moments when we forget to say something about our business. Ooops! We missed a grand opportunity to invite a new customer, or remind an old customer of some wonderful new delicacy we wanted to share with them.

You now have an opportunity to make a difference and do something about those oversights we’ll refer to as forgivable wickedness. Provided you promise to dip your fingers in the chocolate forgiveness and lick the delicious decadence off, while you exercise your marketing expertise in the future.

1) Gorge Yourself on Marketing Delicacies

Know your company. What do you do? Write it down. Edit your information until you develop a savory tidbit of RICH Chocolate Decadence you MUST share about your company. Most Marketers refer to this Delightful Morsel as an Elevator Speech. Must we?

2) Never Hide the Evidence of your Indulgences

Do NOT lick that mustache! While others may accuse you of Blatant Advertizing, and NOT so sweetly, at Chocolate Marketing Concepts your self indulgent behavior is rewarded with more Rich Dark Chocolate. Display the results of your effort proudly. Advertize!

3) Identify the Aroma

Before it even loses the wrapper, the sweet aroma of rich dark chocolate has be licking my lips and drooling in anticipation. The best chocolates always have elegant gold wrapping. Brand your business with elegance and repose in the luxury of success. There’s nothing wrong with glitter and glimmer! Elegance and grace go hand in hand with the Rich delicate flavor of darkest chocolate. Compare and Brand your Market with luxury.

4) Use Temptation

You’ve been there, standing at the counter, about to check out, and that gold wrapped dark chocolate coin is calling your name, tempting you to buy “just one”. Dazzle your customers with temptation. Just a morsel of indulgence wrapped in glitter, waiting for them at the check out counter. Don’t let them leave without just one more item. Some call it up selling.

5) Bring them back for more.

Make your product irresistible so they’ll come back for more. Remember the seven layer chocolate cheese cake that you could only eat four bites of, because it was so rich and sweet, but you desire another piece. You dream of Seven Layer Chocolate Cheese Cake. You want it. You know you can’t resist. Do you go back and get another piece, and take a friend to share it? Of course you do. Make your products and service irresistible! Give them more than they expected, and bring them back for more - with friends.
